PubMed

Search and retrieve biomedical literature from the National Library of Medicine's PubMed database. Over 36 million citations from MEDLINE, life science journals, and online books.

Capabilities

Tool	Description
`search_pubmed`	Search by keyword, author name, or MeSH term. Returns PubMed IDs.
`get_summary`	Metadata for one or more articles: title, authors, journal, DOI.
`get_abstract`	Full abstract text with section labels (Background, Methods, Results, Conclusions).

Typical workflow

Search for articles on a topic with
```
search_pubmed
```
Get metadata for the top results with
```
get_summary
```
Pull the full abstract for the most relevant paper with
```
get_abstract
```

Example: find CRISPR research

curl -X POST https://gateway.pipeworx.io/pubmed/mcp \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{"jsonrpc":"2.0","id":1,"method":"tools/call","params":{"name":"search_pubmed","arguments":{"query":"CRISPR cancer therapy","limit":5}}}'

Query syntax tips

PubMed supports field-tagged searches. Some useful patterns:

```
"Smith J"[Author]
```
-- search by author
```
"COVID-19"[MeSH]
```
-- search MeSH terms
```
"Nature"[Journal]
```
-- restrict to a journal
Combine with AND/OR:
```
CRISPR AND (cancer OR tumor)
```
